I second that. Although, how the hell do we unroot? SBF (if an when a GB sbf file becomes available)?

Yep... I believe P3 mentioned that you would have to sbf to unroot, which at this point would be to a pre–Gingerbread state until a GB sbf is made available....
Seeing how this will more than likely be the last update that the Pro sees, I don't see any reason to unroot... loving this release so far!

Did you wipe before installing the GB zips? I didn't, but used to always when loading custom ROMS on my OG Droid...... wondering now if I should have...
No, I just did a straight install on top of my current stock.
The Black Hat rooted update works pretty much like the over the air update. It's designed to be able to install it without a wipe. Hence being called an update. Custom roms completely replace everything, so a wipe is always a good idea. A wipe wouldn't hurt things here (and you might see a slight performance boost from one since it will essentially be a clean install), but it shouldn't be necessary.
I believe the thought of not having to wipe before update is correct...was reason I didn't before updating..
Not having any problems..running quite smooth, however I was unsure due to the fact that I don't seem to have a stock launcher now...anyone else seeing this?

No, upon installation I had the new blur dock stock. Obviously now I have switched to ADW, but I do have the stock launcher in system/app.
Hmmm...if you go into Settings>Manage Applications and then clear default on ADW, what does it do when you hit the "Home" button? I was expecting to get the box showing ADW and BLur Home as my home choices, but only ADW shows up...I'm showing a "BlurHome.apk" in system/app...is that what you have? thnx!
UPDATE: Okay decided I would just uninstall ADW to see what would happen...uninstalled and now able to use the stock launcher. For some reason it won't give me the option of using it if I have another launcher installed on my Pro....not sure if installing a "home switcher" would give me that option, but as it turns out I do have the Gingerbread launcher....now back to your regularly scheduled programming....
FINAL UPDATE: Okay...home switcher will show stock launcher...so all is well.
Could you guide through the steps on how do i use the CW/bootstrap recovery to install the part1 and 2 zip files... I need to know what options in CW needs to be selected. and how to go about with it.
Help would be appreciated from anyone...
I contacted the TBH guy a couple of times... but i did not get any reply from him
i downloaded the droid2 bootstrap app from the market
i downloaded the TBH app and installed it.
downloaded rooted GB parts one and two from the TBH app
ran the bootstrap app (you need root, i think.)
booted into recovery via the app
created a backup of my phone.
chose the 'install zip from SD' option (it's something like that. not install update.zip).
chose part 1 of the gingerbread root zips, it ran and then told me to install part two.
selected 'install zip from SD' again, selected part 2, ran it.
this prompted a reboot
rebooted.
boom, rooted gingerbread.
then! i added the netflix .apk? and now i'm watching battlestar galactica. dancedroid
